Brain Dump

Okay, the other night I watched a movie that is totally out of my regular genre. I had heard about Fireproof but hadn't any intention of watching it, until Netflix insisted that I would like it. So I watched it, and let me just say it touched something in me. That's all. If you are married, I recommend it.

McDonalds, you are starting to tick me off. I go to McD's for my sugar free non-fat vanilla latte because its cheap and usually good. I know I bitch and moan an awful lot about our lack of a Starbucks but in all honestly we do have two coffee shops and the option of McCafe. I am really fond of one of the little coffee houses but the prices are just a little too steep for my daily fix. So McCafe it is. After my run yesterday I had to visit the eye doctor. I ran in McD's first, and I mean I literally went inside because the drive thru line was horrendous. So I order my sugar free non-fat vanilla latte and wait. Order up. It's iced. Excuse me. I wanted a hot latte. Ok. No problem says the lady. Two seconds later she hands me a cup of black coffee. Argh. 5 minutes later I finally have in my hand what I actually ordered 15 minutes before.

Today is my last peaceful day before the boys are home from school. FOR 5 DAYS STRAIGHT. Pray for me. And send coffee. And tranquilizers.

Two words. Oyster stuffing. Divine.

Sugarbaby has taken to talking constantly, although not a word of it is decipherable. It's complete and total gibberish. I'm glad she is taking that dang paci out of her mouth and trying to communicate, but 5:45am is not exactly the best time to be holding a conversation with your doll. I get to hear every bit of it over the baby monitor.

And holla! I have located a treadmill. SUM's granny lives next door and she has one that I can use whenever I want. I'm so excited and thankful for not having to join the gym or run outdoors when it is below freezing.

every time i go to mc donalds i have to remind myself, "these people work at mc donalds for a reason" and sorry if this sounds gross but my mom always says it and it seems necessary....mc donalds workers could fuck up a wet dream.

I've heard great things about that movie as well. Will make a point to watch it now. That's too funny about the "talking gibberish". I absolutely LOVED that stage. I remember Trinity used do it CONSTANTLY as well. It was hysterical... I wish I could have caught some of it on video! Mind you, she is almost 6 now, and still talks CONSTANTLY ; ) LOL . . . Good times, enjoy the gibber-gabber, it doesn't last long.

The movie Fireproof with Kirk Cameron is actually a follow (kinda sorta sequel) to Facing The Giants, also by the Kendrick Brothers of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany Georgia. A friend of mine played one of the characters (Larry Childers - the guy in the wheelchair), so it was such a surreal thing to watch him up on the big screen. What was even more amazing is that the entire production cost was $100k but the movie made in excess of $10 million. I'm not sure how Fireproof compared statistically, but with it's devoutly Christian leading man, I'm sure it did fine.

I loved fireproof but it may partially stem from a childhood crush on Kirk Cameron. Good message though, I read this book Love and Respect a few years ago which is really elaborates on the theme of that movie. I think it has helped my marriage
